What Are Fractures, Sprains & Strains?
Fractures are broken bones that can range from hairline cracks to complete breaks.
Sprains affect ligaments (the tissues connecting bones), and
Strains affect muscles or tendons.
These injuries often occur suddenly and require prompt medical evaluation to prevent complications, long-term pain, or improper healing.
